Good view to sea, close to beach, swimming pool nearby, possible to have late check out, nice staff, rather large rooms and good breakfast. The only negative point is that free cancelation is expensive!

Easy to find, no35 bus from airport. Lovely location by the water with promenade walks. Clean room but no drinks in room. Good breakfast. Bicycles free to borrow. Only Norwegian tv channels in room, although you can Bluetooth music from your phone to the tv. The Aquarama SATS facility with swimming pools etc are adjoined, guests can use for an extra fee. Nice and quiet despite its size. Friendly and helpful staff.

Not used to European Hotels but there were no tissues or a garbage can capable of holding anything above a few tissues. We did not want cleaning service so it was a bit of an issue for me. Bed was more comfortable than expected and the room was nice. Necessities only which was fine. Breakfast was outstanding at the restaurant.

Spacious room, friendly staff, and solid breakfast

I stayed at this hotel for one day and was met with very friendly staff. The room was large and nice, but unfortunately the AC didn’t work properly – even with a note saying it was slow, the temperature only dropped by 0.2°C over two hours, and the room stayed uncomfortably warm. Apart from that, everything else was great. A big plus was their cooperation with SATS next door, which you could access directly through the building – perfect for getting a proper workout even while traveling. The breakfast buffet also had a wide selection, and there was nothing to complain about there.
